Four years ago the site was a gulch, a year later a refuse heap. Then U was transformed into a level space and today a cozy cottage surrounded by a vegetable garden, a berry patch, a tiny orchard and a rose-laden spot looms up where before only an unsight ly gap was the landscape. in effecting the wondrous change from gully to garden, from hole to home, John Roman, a janitor in The Oregonian building, devoted an hour of his spare time daily every bit of the task with the exception of filling- of the gulch being shouldered by himself. "While the astounding transition was in progress, he, his wife and little son Pete, lived at 598 Delay street, where the improvement could be watched step by step and surveillance could be kept over the stray scraps of lumber gleaned in the river by Roman.

In another month Roman expects to receive from his nonogenarian father in Austria a num ber of apple trees which flourish in his native land. These, he states, have never been tried in Oregon and he is confident the soil of his property will make them prosper. Roman is a Pole and was raised in Austria. He came to Oregon ten years ago and for the last four years has been employed as a janitor ln The Ore gonian building.
